Baltimore, MD – May 9, 2025 – After years of estrangement from her child, hardship, and battling mental health challenges, one mother has found her way back—back to stability, back to her family, and back to herself—thanks to the 2nd & 3rd Life Career Program, an initiative by Causing to Forget. Her powerful story stands as a testament to the life-changing impact of compassion, opportunity, and strategic support.
This mother, whose name is being respectfully withheld for privacy, had been separated from her child for several years due to the compounding challenges of poverty and untreated mental illness. Without access to consistent income, mental health care, or professional development, reunification seemed nearly impossible. But everything changed when she entered the 2nd & 3rd Life Career Program.
A Journey of Restoration and Hope
Through the program, she:
✅ Received job training and was placed in full-time employment, where she has now been gainfully employed for over 6 months.
✅ Was connected to a licensed psychologist, referred through the program, to address long-standing mental health needs with dignity and ongoing support.
✅ Earned a certification in graphic design from Adobe, a career-altering achievement that expanded her skill set and boosted her confidence.
Most importantly, she was reunited with her child, a moment made possible by the structure, encouragement, and holistic resources provided through the 2nd & 3rd Life Career Program.
“This program helped me believe in myself again,” she shared. “I have a future now. And more importantly, I have my child back.”
More Than a Program—A Lifeline
The 2nd & 3rd Life Career Program serves women who often fall through the cracks of traditional systems—mothers with employment gaps, limited education, or mental health struggles. It offers:
- Career training & placement
- Access to counseling and mental health services
- Certification programs in high-demand fields
- Support for family reunification and holistic life restoration
“This is the power of wraparound care rooted in purpose,” said Yolanda Palmer. “We don’t just help women get jobs. We help them get their lives back.”
